Looking for a designer gown, but don't want to blow your budget? D.C.'s Carine's Bridal Atelier is hosting a sample sale on December 7th at the Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner, and it's a real must-attend. Gowns from designers ranging from Carolina Herrera to Junko Yoshioka, Reem Acra to Angel Sanchez and Melissa Sweet, and lots more will fill the hotel's Plaza Room, and everything is priced at $999, $1,299, and $1,499. The sale starts at 10 a.m., and I would recommend getting there early to get the best pick of the gowns—the ballroom will serve as an open dressing room so be sure to wear shorts and a bra/tank top under your clothes if you're modest. Happy shopping!—Kim Forrest, Assistant Editor, Brides Local Magazines
